EAT LIKE A LOCAL
The Washington DC table — what to order and where the locals point.
The Lincoln Memorial reflected in the pool at dawn
Rose's Luxury
Barracks Row, no reservations for years, now takes them — and still one of the best dinners in America.
Ben's Chili Bowl
On U Street since 1958, through the riots and the gentrification. Half-smoke with chili, standing up.
Le Diplomate
A Parisian brasserie on 14th Street that DC decided was its living room. Book, or eat at the bar.
Das Ethiopian / Little Ethiopia
DC has the largest Ethiopian community outside Africa. Head to 9th Street NW and order injera for the table.
